A Christmas Processional

Description

• Composer: Philip Sparke
• Publisher: Anglo Music Press

The melody of this Christmas carol comes originally from a Finnish songbook of 1582, containing a collection of 74 medieval songs together with Latin texts. The version arranged by Gustav Holst became very popular in the British Isles - with a text that links it to December 28, the Day of the Holy Innocents. Philip Sparke based his adaptation on Holsts powerful arrangement and has added various musical material himself.
